As a homeschool mom who loves math, Denise Gaskins wants to help other homeschoolers see the variety and richness of the subject. Gaskins writes, "I hope this blog will be a place where we can play around with ideas about learning, teaching, and understanding math. (For me, it usually happens in that order.)"
The author homeschools her five children in rural Illinois, having tutored or taught primary- and secondary-level math and physics. Gaskin's blog posts, which date back to April, 2006, include
